Nader
I just want to point out something that maybe not so many would like to hear, which is maybe why not so many people will say it:
Ralph Nader finally won in 2006.
We’re about to begin Congressional investigations into the ties between Republicans (and Democrats, too) and big business. Corruption and the corporate takeover of American politics will be the agenda and the news story for the next two years at least. Investating Iraq alone will reveal so many ties that most Americans might reject them as science fiction.
Back in 2000, explaining why he wasn’t handing his momentum over to Gore as crunch time drew near, Ralph Nader explained that it had to get worse before it got better. And though it’s not easy to say it, he was right.

The problem as I see it, is when it came to war the decision was made by both parties… cause they all thought they could make a buck or two… its sad… its sad that we.. the voting public expect people to be honest.
Have a great weekend
Good points. I’ll have to think about this.
One of Nader’s key concerns is that a corporation isn’t a person and shouldn’t have the rights of a citizen. If that was corrected, I think a lot of corruption would be prevented. Boards of directors should be responsible for their decisions.
Nader is a Classic Progressive and yes, yes, he very much won this year.
